Regarding Historic Macon. Excerpt from the National register nomination,
this page online
Vineville is historically significant in terms of architecture, landscape architecture, community planning and development, and local history. In general, Vineville manifests a history that represents the characteristic evolution of a neighborhood from an early-nineteenth-century agrarian community through a more-or-less exclusive enclave to an early-twentieth-century suburb in a metropolitan area. More specifically, Vineville contains a significant collection of middle and upper-class nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century residential architecture, some of which was designed by notable Georgia architects including Neel Reid. This architecture is set within informally landscaped yards and tree-lined streets that reflect prevailing turn-of-the century tastes in landscape architecture. The streets and lots themselves, aligned in a roughly gridiron plan, reflect a characteristic manner of subdividing and developing land. Vineville was also the home of many prominent figures in the social, political, professional, cultural, and business life of Macon and Georgia.
